Jeep Grand Cherokee Bookings Open – Deliveries Likely To Commence This Month
Jeep is looking forward to further expanding its business in the premium segment by launching the new Grand Cherokee SUV in India. Though the launch of the Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV was initially scheduled to take place on November 11, the launch has now been postponed to November 17.
That being said, Jeep India has opened bookings for the upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV and the deliveries for the premium SUV are expected to commence by the end of November 2022.
However, what is more interesting is that the upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee will be a 5-seater SUV and it will be assembled in India. This makes the upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee, the fourth Jeep SUV to be assembled in India after Jeep Compass, Jeep Wrangler, and Jeep Merdian.
Coming to the design front, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV does not look that different to other Jeep SUVs such as the updated Jeep Compass and the new Jeep Meridian. However, a side-by-side comparison reveals the Jeep Grand Cherokee to be a lot wider and looks far more premium than the other two Jeep SUVs. On top of that, a closer inspection reveals that the Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV sports numerous premium bits on the exterior.
Looking at the interior of the upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee, the SUV feels a lot more premium with its layered dashboard design and premium matte wood inserts on the dashboard. On top of this, the large and crisp 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment unit further uplifts the cabin.
Speaking about features, the upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV comes with features such as a 10.25-inch digital driver's display, panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, powered front seats, Apple Car Play and Android Auto connectivity, electric tailgate and much more.
In addition to all these features, the upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV also comes with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) which includes active safety features such as auto emergency braking, forward collision warning, blind-spot detection, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assistance, and much more.
Coming to the powertrain, the upcoming new Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV packs a 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine. This engine is expected to come mated to an 8-speed torque converter automatic transmission and use a Quadra-Trac I 4x4 system with multiple terrain modes.
We expect the upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV to be priced around Rs 80 lakh, ex-showroom. This means the American SUV will rival the likes of established European SUVs such as the Mercedes-Benz GLE, and BMW X5 in India.
Thoughts About The Upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV In India
One of the biggest talking points about the upcoming Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV is that the model will be assembled in India. However, the seating capacity of 5 adults limits the SUV's ability to attract more potential buyers.
